lovely, thoughtful piece. thank you for featuring my response. love what you say about adapting your approach to different people and circumstances, totally agree!
along the lines of what dan says, im also thinking about my social feeds/irl interactions about climate change and the tone is so ironic and defeatist. like, “whelp, 80 degrees in october? love that for the planet. thanks jeff bezos.” and i think thats like a totally valid coping mechanism and sometimes the right response for the situation-- but i also feel its part of a culture that looks down on big emotions and sincerity. like what if we actually expressed the grief and rage!! how cathartic and healing and productive that could be!!
OMG! Girl I am the EXACT same. We have like removed ourselves from our lives, it's like we are watching it thru a tv screen w/ our humour sometimes. If you try and talk about ppl are like... uhhhhhhhh ok..... I would love us to feeel our full feelings.
